Letter: Let Trump do his job

There’s an old saying, “If a policeman follows you long enough, he will find something.” Suppose you went one mile-per-hour over the speed limit. That is illegal. You forgot your turn signal when you changed lanes. Illegal. You have a taillight out. Illegal.

But suppose dozens of policemen were hired to follow you for two or three years. How many violations would pile up? What if every little imperfection was recorded and displayed for the world to see?

That is what’s happening to our president. As soon as he started moving up in the polls, a dozen women accused him of molestation. It didn’t work. The day Trump became president, the Democrats commenced a search to get rid of him. It started with the Russian collusion. Now they are at it again. Trump didn’t act soon enough on the coronavirus.

This needs to stop! It is a huge waste of time and taxpayers’ money. It’s time for the Democrats and Republicans to get back to work.

Are you completely blameless in everything you do? Neither is our president. Please, let him do his job.
